Chapter 2 Glossary
| Term | Definition |

| Toleration | Toleration is the virtue of respecting beliefs, attitudes, and practices different from one’s own. |
| Cultural diversity | Cultural diversity is the anthropological fact that cultures differ in their accepted beliefs, attitudes, and practices. |
| Ethical relativism | Ethical relativism is the metaethical view that the truth or falsity of ethical judgments is relative to the traditional practices of a cultural group. |
| Ethical theories | Ethical theories are ways of systematizing ethical judgments that philosophers have developed over many years. |
| The “is/ought” gap | The “is/ought” gap means that we cannot derive an ethical conclusion from an argument consisting of purely scientific or factual premises. |
| “Ought” implies “can” | The metaethical principle that “ought” implies “can” means that a person cannot be morally obligated to perform an action or bring about a consequence if he is unable to do so. |
| Agreement-seeking | Ethical reasons are agreement-seeking because we offer them as justifications to others for acting in a certain way. They are reasons about which there can be argument and debate. |
